Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners music streamer

At least one of the Cambridge streamers has BlueTooth.

I had not looked at the Axiom device before today. It does seem to check a lot of boxes. If it were in a larger case, and had a display that could show you album art, I'd probably buy one. I just can't get all that excited over using a phone or tablet to operate it, or any device. I bought one of the N2's almost a year ago. Used it a couple of times, got tired of having to operate it with one of my tablets. I haven't used it in at least 8 months.

That's really interesting feedback.

Why don't you like using a device to operate your stuff?

I know for me, I don't mind provided the interface is responsive. If it's not, I just return the shit wherever I bought it. I have no time for that in my life. That's also an area I work in. I work hard to make stuff very usable so when others don't, I get really upset.

Kodiak, they could have a few different sushi streamers:

1. Sashimi - no fillers. Just a gorgeous box and guts.

2. Nigiri - comes with fillers. An alpha-numeric panel and SSD.

3. Temaki - Like Nigiri but the alpha-numeric panel is replaced with a holographic projector for album art.

Love it!

You could add the “ Tako” option.....( octopus )
It gives 8 different connection options for a full featured unit.

Seriously though, you CAN purchase AXIOM Pre and integrated amps. And have the transformer / AIR. embedded into it. The descriptions read more like geared towards “ pro “ applications. But if it’s anything like all their stuff ( understated and high quality , and well thought out , at least that’s my perception ) they’re probably really good. I actually really like that AXIOM isn’t flashy and over glittered with crazy ad space and fancy commercials. The product speaks for itself.

The willingness to try new stuff. I mean their wireless setup embedded into floorstanders and bookshelves with MORE than adequate power. Omnidirectional speakers , oh wait let’s try active DSP. Taking some risks and experimenting and following science. Just awesome. If that philosophy aligns with a person than it’s a good fit.

Oh and it’s Canadian.

Ok , Impromptu rant over!!

Yaki Soba Cables. ( that’s the noodle dish , I know I know , genious).

You say all these good things about Axiom, and you only have the used ti. You'd be erecting statues with v4 M60s and HP drivers.

Yeah it’s probably true. I’d probably faint.

Admittedly I haven’t heard a ton of speakers and nothing terribly “ expensive “. But these m60ti are the best I’ve heard. It could be the room too. Whenever I heard anything else it was in a shop or big store with terrible rooms or large open space.

After hearing these m60ti though and getting to know their sound and fine tuning the position etc my strategy now is to upgrade components but with the idea that as I upgrade to purchase items that could eventually work well a new pair of Axioms. I’d be willing to try m60HP or even m80 HP. m100 probably overkill. ( or not? ).

I’ve even wondered about m5HP with twin ep 500. We ll see. No rush. Gonna max out the components here over time and enjoy what I’ve got. Then I’ll slip some new HP’s in here one day.

I hope I don’t come off like a “ fan boy “ too much ( yes I’d wear a trucker hat or tshirt if they made one!) but to be able run a company and maintain a philosophy and follow thru with good products and customer service is a real achievement.

Why am I worried about being a fanboy..... what’s your current in house axiom stock mojo? ( smirk. ).

The M100 would not be overkill for you. You'd need an ADA-1000. Any more amp with the M100 would be too much for your listening distance.

The M5s put shame to your M60ti. I replaced my M80v2 with M5s and the difference in soundstage, imaging, accuracy and emotional satisfaction was immense. The M100s are even cleaner and more dynamic.

If you do get M5s, the ADA-1000 won't be enough for you.

I control the Gold Note DS-10 with a tablet. Very convenient.

I like simplicity. I am NOT a tech guy, despite having the crap throughout my house and in my life. Electronic devices crash way too frequently. Don't even get me started on passwords......

Yup. I agree.
